Cavalier Bartolomeo 2011 Altenasso (Barolo)

Country: Italy / Piedmont
Variety: Nebbiolo
Winery: Cavalier Bartolomeo / Altenasso

This offers typical Nebbiolo aromas of dark red berry, blue flower, truffle and a whiff of game along with a balsamic note. The young palate is still tight but shows dried black cherry, clove, black pepper and tobacco while firm, fine-grained give it a solid grip. Chopped mint closes the finish.
